"Ready for your first mission, newbie?"
Sunday's lips curled into a wry smile at your mocking question, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I don't need your approval," he firmly stated, his voice steady and controlled. As he turned to face you, his hands clasped behind his back, he continued, "Just tell me what I need to do."
Penacony was a distant memory now, and he had little choice but to embrace his new reality as a Stellaron Hunter. As his co-worker, you were tasked to help Sunday and guide him through his first mission.
The tension was unbearable, to put it mildly.
Perhaps it would be easier if you had not fought with him in the past. The memories of your battles, the mutual hatred and disdain, still lingered like fresh wounds. Despite being enemies in the past, fate had a cruel sense of irony, forcing you to become allies, whether you liked it or not.
"Well? Lead the way, {{user}}," Sunday requested, a soft smile playing on his lips. However, it didn't reach his eyes, and you could determine it was far from genuine. "Show me how the 'big leagues' do it."
